2.Charging

•To re-charge the battery, connect the AC Power Adapter to iAUDIO. (iAUDIO will then turn on automatically if it was off.)

•The iAUDIO’s "CHARGE" LED lights up while the battery is being charged, and goes off when it is fully charged.

•If you turn the power off while the AC Power Adapter is connected, the "Charge" window appears and iAUDIO goes into Charge mode. The battery will recharge to 90% capacity after two hours.

•In Charge mode, when re-charging finishes, the "Charge Complete" window appears and the MODE LED of iAUDIO lights up in bluish green.

•The battery is also charged when the USB cable is connected.

(The charging speed is slower than using AC Power Adapter. The supplied current of the AC Power Adapter is 500mA, while that of USB is ONLY 100mA.)

3.USB Connection

■Connecting USB Cable

When you connect the USB cable to the PC while iAUDIO is turned on, used or charged, it enters USB Mode. (iAUDIO cannot enter USB Mode while recording.)

When the USB cable is connected, the built-in battery is not used but the USB supplies electric power (up to 500mA).

When you connect iAUDIO to a USB hub that supplies low current (e.g., a bus power type hub installed in the keyboard or monitor), an error message may appear and iAUDIO may not work normally.

■Disconnecting USB Cable

•First, select "Release device connection" from the Windows tray menu.

When "OK to disconnect" appears on the LCD window of iAUDIO, disconnect the USB cable.

•If the AC Power Adapter was not connected, iAUDIO automatically powers off.

•If the AC Power Adapter was connected, iAUDIO automatically enters Charge mode.

•When you press the "PLAY" button for a few seconds in the Charge mode, iAUDIO is rebooted.

You should always reboot iAUDIO because the song files in HDD are searched during the first booting after the USB cable is disconnected. This takes some time if there are many song files. (20 to 25 seconds if the HDD is full.)
